The Deathless Are Coming To Hysterical’s Panzerfauste
October 19, 2015 by brennon
Hysterical Games have shown off some more of the work going into the new factions in Panzerfauste which is currently up on Kickstarter. First off we should delve into the new faction, The Deathless, which are an Undead/Demon faction with a slant towards the Russian and/or Soviet...
As you can see they are lead by a rather dangerous looking individual. I would imagine they are drawing off some of that mystical feeling behind Rasputin who would fit into this time frame from our own history.
It looks like a lot of the models are based off an Elf-type creature or Demons as the description mentioned. I would imagine these chaps are going to be rather slow and resilient.
Unlocks
As well as The Deathless there are some unlocks to take a look at. Both the Dwarves and the Gnomes are getting some fantastic specialist troops. The first of these are the Dwarf Sturmtruppen. If you want to raid trenches and get stuck into the action then these guys will get the job done.
There are also some Cavalry options for the Gnomes. Admittedly they might be quite slow but these snail-riding soldiers could well be the thing that helps their war effort.
I like that they have the long rifles which I assume makes these more of a mobile fire platform rather than a charging melee unit. There is plenty to look forward to with this range of models.
What do you think?

The Deathless might be my faction, loving the Likho renders!
Glad to hear it! They’ll be unlocked at £20,000…
Oh my, the Dark Elves Zombi renders look amazing, thanks for sharing! Seriously considering them and I already got like a hundred zombies from different brands. Deathless are competing with Orcs at the moment. I guess whichever of the faction has Mink cavalry will be my first choice… so probably Deathless 😉
Loving the lazy stereotyping on those gnomes.
I can’t tell if you love the stereotypes, or if you are being ironic 😛
It all seemed to add up as we were developing them…
Every faction has it’s stereotypes though, have you seen the number of teacups on the Orcs? 😀
The zombie section look a little more Strigoi/Nosferatu to me. Still very nice, undead in great coats.
Thanks!
Yeah, they are Dark Elf Zombies… 🙂 Ends up looking kind of Vampiric!
I have never backed a Kickstarter – but those Orc commando’s look awesome – I’m really tempted…
Go on! Jump in! Orc Commandos!
Everything has a rather big Flintloque vibe to me especially the undead russians, only in a WW2 Setting. It’s not produced by the same company no? Other than that, i do really love the Dwarf Sturmtruppen.
Nah different company.
Though Steve and I have had our hands in Flintloque in the past too. We definitely all fall within the ‘historo-fantasy’ sub-genre.
Never underestimate a racing snail.
